I am building kibana plugin with tag of v5.1.3 and when I do 'npm start' , kibana server cannot start and it repeatedly restart with the message "Restarting server due to changes in {filename}". As shown in image attachment.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

We're monitoring file changes using chokidar. Is it possible that you're programmatically making modifications to that file?

What OS are you developing on?

Thank you for your reply @tsmalley.

It is not possible that I was grammatically making modifications.  
I just checked out kibana from git hub and switched to tag 5.1.2, installed npm dependencies.  
Then, just started "npm start" from plugin folder which was generated by kibana-plugin-generator.

Then it gives the following log and keep kibana server in restarting.

> restarting server due to changes in "src\ui\views\root\_redirect.jade"  
> restarting server due to changes in "config\kibana.yml"  
> restarting server due to changes in "src\server\http\short\_url\_lookup.js"  
> restarting server due to changes in "src\server\http\xsrf.js"

Regards.
